"There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which... A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..." - Grimsley, BW

There are a few other quotes I love from N, Cyrus, and Cynthia, but none come to mind right now.

Oh, and the one from Pokemon Ranger Almia where Ice calls you "Player's name- noob." I've always thought that was funny.

If you enjoy poetry, check out this book by rising author, James W. A. "In the Library" is told in an epic narrative format and contains dark thematic material that teaches multiple lessons about pain, coping, and madness. Check it out at thejameswa.com !

"Burn, baby, burn! (W) /It's shocking! (B)"
-N
"I won't tolerate people with different ideas!"
-Team Plasma Grunt
"You must be friends of Smiley Swimsuit, that guy who lowered the gangplank!"
-Team Plasma Grunt on the Plasma Frigate
I have a few others...

"...The places we are born. The time we spend living... The languages we speak... We are all different. But the presence of Pokémon unites us. We share our lives with our Pokémon and our happiness grows as we all become greater than we were alone. That is why we can battle and trade with anyone we choose... Since there is sadness, we can feel joy. When there is anger, compassion is born..." ~After Cyrus' defeat in the Distortion World.

And the best quote from the Battle Frontier in Emerald: I SWALLOW SLUDGE TO TRANSFORM MYSELF

What were they thinking...

"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! It brings back a memory of that day long ago... I went out to the lake with your father that day... We were attacked by a wild Pokémon. We fended it off, but I don't recall how. It was that desperate. That was my first step as a Trainer. I wonder if the professor is doing well?"
- Palmer after being defeated for the second time in Diamond, Pearl & Platinum

...these are the ones I can think of right now.

"Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you, Red! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp! While working on my Pokedex, I looked all over for powerful Pokemon! Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokemon type! And now! I am the Pokemon League Champion! Red! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you! I am the most powerful trainer in the world!"

Ha, I love that kid outside Verdanturf in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. It made me smile when they had the messed-up sudowoodo say almost the same line (according to Meowth) in season nine's "All That Glitters is Not Golden".

"Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Oak! People call me the Pokémon Prof! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for fights. Myself… I study Pokémon as a profession. First, what is your name? Right! So your name is <player>! This is my grandson. He's been your rival since you were a baby. …Erm, what is his name again? That's right! I remember now! His name is <DOUCHE>! <player>! Your own very Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go!"

Forget pseudo-intellectualism and NPC craziness. The basics are where it's at!

But in all seriousness, I like both the Karen and Grimsley quotes that have been put forth numerous times, but I've got to say that "Your own very Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits!" is it for me. There's something so full of hope and infinite possibility there, and I can't help but smile every time I see it.
